Working again. I flashed cm7.1 after 1-click then no problems afterwards.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If you want to go to I897 or i9000 GB ODIN to a stock then flash w/e rom. If CM7 or MIUI then just cwm after factory reset and cache wipes

It's been my daily driver, honestly, since it was alpha. It's incredible imho.

[Captivate Android Development] razielxx:
Ok, I haven't been on this rom for a while now. I tried it in its alpha state and liked it but went with something a little more stable. I am going to come back to it now, but I don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops. I know how to flash it. That's not a problem. My question is, is the stock kernel and modem good for everyday use or do I need to flash a different kernel in order to use this as a daily driver?

Slow USB transfer

First I want to say thanks for all the effort put into creating this ROM. I am happy that USB transfer works to my Windows 7 32bit PC. I am using the same drivers I did on CM7 and SamSung ROMs. However, I am copying all the data back to my SD card and it is slow <1.5MB/sec compared to up to 10MB/sec on some ROMs. It's not a big deal but I'm just wondering if that is the same for everyone or different kernels may make that better, etc. I do transfer files with my pc fairly often and yes I know I could do it wirelessly - I just haven't needed to so far.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I really don't understand all the PC transfer talk. I literally haven't plugged into my PC in months, and don't foresee it. unless there's big issues. Sorry, can't help.

It's a known fact. I believe I've seen them speaking about it in IRC to fix it. You can try glitch but I don't know.

Here I asked the same thing on the Q&A
[Captivate Android Development] caulton:
just created a bootanimation and wunted to share

looping preview: here

download: here
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
This looks awesome. Unfortunately after going to 2.11, no matter what I replace my bootanimation.zip with (just tried yours as well), it doesn't take. I still get that ****ty nexus flipping tiles one. Its driving me bananas....

Anyone have any ideas? This isn't my first rodeo, I know all about correct permissions, etc, but this really has me baffled.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I manually replaced mine with root explorer and it worked just fine... (rc2.11 and r3148 bigmem kernel)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I tried that and as adzidek said it did not want to stick.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
here is what i used. its just an old mosaic boot ani i used just for testing purposes.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
I just tried the following:

adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip c:\ (Backup just in case)

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/

A reboot shows the boot animation just fine. What do you mean when you say it doesn't stick?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
It's bizarre. I push the new zip in place of the old one, with proper permissions. I even checked *inside* the zip after pushing in, and looked at the PNGs to make sure, and yep, the new zip has the new PNGs, in the /system/media folder. But when I reboot, I still have the old nexus flipping tiles animation. Which by all accounts should be impossible - because I removed that old zip. Where the heck is it getting that old animation from? It's GONE. lol.

So confused....
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I know nothing about programming but could it be pulling from a previous rom?

I used Root Explorer and mine worked fine except I had to delete the old animation just to free up the disc space. Works fine though.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Very nice animation, a cool ending would be to squish the words on the animation inbetween two cookies... like the sandwich.:)
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Yeah, I dunno...something wonky for sure....but I'm not going to re-flash for the sake of being able to change my boot animation, lol.

I'll just wait for the next release/update, and I'm sure flashing that will fix my issue. Till then...****ty nexus tile-flipping animation it is. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
Not impossible... the flipping tiles is the default animation. for example if you delete bootanimation.zip from a samsung rom it will show the standard galaxy s boot animation. the zip simply replaces the default one. so for some reason your phone is not recognizing the zip you are trying to use.

why? wish i could help you there. :confused:

edit: ignore everything i just said. i'm a liar.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Actually I'm am able to delete it and I get a boot anime that is just the word ANDROID with a reflection effect. But I can't get a new one to stick -_-;
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Wait...are you sure about that - if I delete my bootanimation.zip entirely I get the old samsung animation back? I won't run into any "can't boot" or "bootloop" issues?
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
lol... no i'm not sure. i was just making an assumption. (whoops)

ok i'm with you. seems impossible.
[Captivate Android Development] Boraltis:
I'm not sure how different things are now, but back during the FroYo craze, there was another bootanimation.zip (yep, 2 of em) you would sometimes have to delete, but not always. It was hit or miss. But if it wouldn't stick, the other one would have to be deleted. (If only I could remember where the hell it was...)

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Sanim.zip or something like that? This rom doesn't have it. Unless that folder is simlinked to something else and there are 2...
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
Try putting your boot animation in /data/local and see how that works.
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
ahha, well played sir... looks like there is another bootanimation.zip in /data/local

anyone seen issues with usb file transfers freezing? I know there may be some usb connection issues some other people have but my phone connects fine to my linux box. But when i start transferring files to the phone, it would work for a few MBs but then stop.

Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? I prefer to not go flash all the way back to stock, then back to the rom as that is too quickly becoming the norm with this rom x.x.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
Lots of people... Read the thread
[Captivate Android Development] Snow_fox:
Yes, I should browse through 310 pages to check and see if my issue happens to be among other reported.

Thanks for the assistance so much.

I didn't see anything on the front page, nor did I see anything on the last (two) pages, therefore I felt posting isn't entirely unjustified.

Especially since I googled my question first.
[Captivate Android Development] iamprayl:
Edit:

Try flashing another kernel like glitch 14 prev 4. Works for me. Nushor's latest kernel works. Use kernel cleaning script first then flash new kernel - factory reset - wc - wd - reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] AnarchoXen:
glitch 14 prev 4 will get your buttons working. I moved to the newest nushor kernel and my home button works. USB still doesn't however. Won't connect. No big deal though.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You need to clear cache and dalvik then flash. If that doesn't work factory reset and clear cache and dalvik.

This is why the forum has a search feature. It helps using key words like soft key or something. I understand its not always easy but trusselo said it's a known issue so the least you can do is search and not bad mouth someone.

Anyone with USB mounting issues (i.e. can't access internal storage), go here:

Woohoo!

Which kernel are you running? I had the same issue, No USB, on the bundled kernel, however the nushor kernel 'fixed' that issue for me.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Loving it right now!

After yesterday's near brick, phone is up and running 95% now. VERY HAPPY with RC2.11 + nushor 3147 bigmem + KG3. Even the I9000 RC2 mods (circle battery, etc) works great.

Only issue I can see so far is camcorder not working. Can't think of anything else wrong really.

Isn't that related to glitch kernel? I've never had that issue on nushor's kernels.

I'm on Glitch at the moment. I was on Nushor's before and didn't have the problem, but I just wanted to share with everyone, because it's easier to fix it the way the link I posted has it, rather than flashing a kernel you may not want to change.

Clarification

I'm writing this hoping that the more knowledgeable members can help answer the following questions and then the OP and update the OP so new comers can understand why things are the way they are currently with this particular ROM. And THEN maybe we can get away from the endless recurrence of "this is not working" followed by "please search before posting" postings.

Observation 1: Many people are reporting that by going back to stock via ODIN/one-click and THEN flashing this ROM, the chances of things working are that much higher.

Question: Can anyone explain why?

Observation 2: When flashing this ROM and kernel, one has to flash the kernel immediately after flash ROM from within CWM. If one flash ROM, then reboot fully, then flash kernel, whatever the kernel's supposed to fix (such as soft key(s) not working) will not work.

Question 2: Can anyone explain why?

Observation 3: The above question (#2) actually has problems, because full wipe/factory reset is required before flashing ROM, and then immediately followed by flashing kernel. Or else soft key(s) will not work.

Question 3: Can anyone explain why? I think most people are used to just download a new kernel and flash it via CWM and be done with it. Now with every iteration of the ROM or kernel, they have to full wipe/factory reset. Most of the issues in the last 20 pages (seems like) are from this.

Observation 4: The presence of Kernel cleaning script.

Question 4: Can anyone explain why this is needed? What does it clean?

I have more, but I'll stop for now.

I'm very appreciative of what the devs and the other members have contributed to this. After all, without them (and you) I wouldn't have ICS running on my Captivate. This post is by no means a complaint, but a request for clarifications so others can benefit from our collective experiences.

Thanks,

David
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Usually because its starting from 0 and its easier to rule out issues that one can do while flashing. It's also been mentioned that formating specific partitions help. I personally haven't needed to flash to stock or any of this. Just by using Factory Reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik have had successful flashes.

The original kernel used was faulty for what eve reason for our i897 devices. Older kernels needed factory reset for the flash be successful and have a working home button. Recent kernels I've just needed to wipe cache and dalvik. The specific reasons I don't know.

Last 20 pages because most ppl don't seem to want to read or use search function. I read (sometime when RC2 was released) that Nushor's kernel always needed to wipe cache and dalvik.

Some kernels install files on different locations for them to run better/properly. The clean up scrip deletes different things and wipes cache and dalvik. I believe it messes with /system/bin/shrm, /system/lib/modulesrm, /system/etc/glitch-configrm and /data/local/logger.ko

How long does it take to boot after flashing for the first time. I have flashed the ROM three times and each time it gets stuck at the boot animation.

EDIT: Well nevermind, it just took extremely long (about 9 minutes). Maybe wait it out?

ok thanks for the help and fast replys
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
Thank you, but the mystery remains why it is required for some people but not for others.

Can you clarify by giving a definite date range, i.e. nushor's from v3125? And glitch v14 preview 4 doesn't fall into this "recent" category since I have to do factory reset/full wipe before I can have working soft key(s).

Again, thank you and I agree that people should read, read, and read again, then sleep on it and read some more the next day before posting. However, nushor's kernel still require full wipe/factory reset before one can have working soft key(s). At least up until v3131.

Thank you. That is very helpful information. Hopefully the OP can update the OP with this info and a link.

By the way, if you are reading, OP, can you also include the definitive answer in the OP on how to get working soft keys?

Thank you,

David

I've been using since 20120101 3125v but I know for a fact that 3146v and 3148v flash with just cache and dalvik wipe. At least for me. Anything before that I factory reset, but mainly because 3125 required and I kept doing it. Forgot to mention. I don't mess with glitch. Although their live oc is nice and they have some feature i like, that kernel has cause nothing but grief to me. So I stay away from it, but alot of people have said some versions are working awesome with the rom, I just don't know wich.

Like I said on top I've been able to flash 3146 and 3148 with just wiping cache and dalvik.

Keep in mind this has been personal experience. And for what ever reason this has given ppl alot of grief. I can't say if its millage varies or just ppl not reading or they just messing it up. As you can see ALOT of the post are people with very little post. That usually, not always, they are newbs and don't know half of what they are doing. But we are all learning ;)

After a few attempts with 2.11 + FuguModICSRC1 voodoo and RC2.1 r3148v BM (tried both) I got it to work.

Unfortunately I'm having issues with the USB tethering. It connects but loses connection after a little while. If I ping www.google.com, I'll eventually get an "General Failure" message and won't be able to get anything else.

I have the problem with both kernels I mentioned above. I moved back to CM7 in the meantime since I'll need to tether tomorrow at least.

Otherwise, awesome job so far.

R2.11 - Sleep Death/Kernel Clean Script

First, Great Work Devs --- amazing ROM awesome experience...enjoying my "NEW" phone..

Great forum and advice - went from direct from 2.1 (and gb in between) to ICS R1.0.1 to R2.11

I am on R2.11 and flashed Glitch14 Pre 4....but then moved to noushar v3148 because of the camera issue.

But then suddenly had a sleep death on noushar v3148 last night - anybody experience that? How could I investigate that further....using any utilities..any ideas...

Btw, I did wipe/fac reset/cache/dalvik before and after the kernel flash. I did not use the kernel cleaning script though - is that a must-do....are they not part of the kernel itself?

Are there different cleaning scripts for different kernels??

I found this - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13224453 - would this do??

I can try this and then wipe cache/dalvik and flash the Noushar v3148 again...

Thanks....
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
People are coming from different ROMs and/or different kernels. Each person is installing the apps they want that may further mod their previous ROM (eg. Modems, DPI changes, Voodoo color, UV/OC utilities, various snake oil scripts, break dancing dildo boot animations, etc). It is important to note that not all of these are overwritten by merely flashing a new ROM/kernel and wiping the data and cache. Furthermore, some of these, things may not be fully compatible with this ROM and/or kernel du jour.

So in order for you to have the best chance of running this the way it was meant to be, it is suggested that one flash to stock, wipe out EVERYTHING, install the ROM/kernel (as per the OP), and then put back your custom www.furnitureporn.com (yes that is real site) boot animation.
